It was said that the Nationalist government felt that Japan "insti- gated the revolt, desiring to create disorder at Shantung, thereby pro- viding an excuse for the continu- ance of troops at Shantung under an arrangement which was near a termination as a result of the Wang-Yosh-Waza negotiations that are now findcfinitely deadlocked over the question of the removal of Japanese troops and compensation for the Tsinan incident."

Rear Admiral Campbell com- manded one of the decoy ships, or Q-boats as they were called. These were dirty, unkempt, uninviting looking tramp steamers that yet, when a submarine was sighted, could throw off this mask, hoist the British naval flag, and bow a submarine out of the water at point blank range. It was an ex tremely dangerous mode of war- fare, for torpedoes from a submar- ine were not to be played with, Stories of thrilling escapes and val- fant deeds of the Q-hoat crews and men will be told by Rear-Admiral Campbell in his lecture, which is entitled 'How the British Q-Boats Fought the German Submarines," This will be given under the aus- pices of the Kiwanis Club at the collegiate tomorrow night, the pro- ceeds to be devoted to the Kiwanis club's work for underprivilegd boys. REPORTS CLOTHES STOLEN FROM LINE "Clothes Line Snatcher" at Work in City--Two Dresses Stolen It has been e~m™a tima eines po- lize here received a report that a clothes line 'sna. sas be n at work. This morning, however, such a report was received at the station, Mrs, T. F. Luke, 19 Celina street, was unfortunate in that she lost two practically new dresses, hosiery and other materials which were hung out to dry through the ef- forts of gome one who preferred, rather to steal than to either buy or request aid in the form of cloth- ing. The theft was committed be- tween the hours of three and seven on Saturday afternoon. No idea to the culprit's identity has been revealed. "Clothes snatching" as the term significs, is an offence which was much more prevalent some years ago than it is now. Nowadays when there are a great many conveniences inside for drying clothes, less out- side drying is done, and as a result there are a less number of oppor tunities for vandals to carry om their despicable trade. The theft Saturday, however, seems to have brought back this form of offence, which is punishable under the act, the same @s any other common theft.

CHURCH CELEBRATES ITS [5TH ANNIVERSARY ORPHEUS QUARTETTE \ GIVES SPECIAL MUSIK CAL SERVICES The Church Debt is Reduced to Less Than One Thousand Dollars King St. United Church yester- day celebrat:d the 15th anniver- sary of its dedication in special musical services, assisted by the Orpheus quartette of Toronto. Rev, C. E. Cragg, phstor of the chur-h was, on the invitation of the offi- cial board, the speaker of the day, as this was the first anniversary service since Rev. Mr, Cragg took over the pastorate. In the special anniversary offer- ings of the day, the congregation contributed a sunr sufficient to re- duce the church debt to less than $1,000. This was commented up- on during the service by the minis~ ter, who pointed out that, during the 15 years since the dedication of the church, the war occurred, seriously affecting almost every congregation, and that it was a re- markable fcat, therefore, that the church should be freed of debt in such a short period. © The congre- gation is now considering the erec- tion of an additioh to provide more adequate accommodation for both the Sunday school and church au- ditorium, both of which are over- crowded every Sunday. At the morning service, Rev. Mr, Cragg spoke on "The Church's su- preme nced,'"' which, he declared, was a greater Indwelling of the Holy Spirit. There are three types of Christians, he said, those in the church for their own salvation on- ly, those in the church for their own salvation and for the winning of others, but by human means, and those who were in the church not only for their own salvation, but who were endeavoring to win others to Christ with the help of God, through human agencies, The Apostles were all of the third class, Rev. Mr, Cragg declar- ed. pointing out some .of the ac- complishments of these mm. "Never has the church heen equip- ped - as it is today for effective work, but is it doing the job?" he asked. The church needed some- thing to make it enthusiastic and the speaker declared that that something was a greater baptism of the Holy Spirit, as the disciples had experienced at Pentecost. In the evening, Rev. Mr. Cragg spoke on "The Holy Catholic Church," Featuring the musical services, were solos and duets by Arthur Davies, tenor, and Arthur Fisher, basso, of the Orpheus quartette, In the morning Mr. Davies sung "Hear My Cry," by Alfred Wooler. and in the evening "Lift up your Heads," by J. Clarendon McClure. Mr. Fish- er's solos were Mighty," by Alfred Wooler in the morning, and "Sun of my Soul," by Carver in the evening. The duet numbers - of these singers were "Watchman, What of the Night?" by Sargeant, and "So Thou Liftest thy Divine Petition," from The Cruxifiction by John Stainer. The choir's anthems were 'Rock of Ages," by E. R. Bowles 'in the morning, and "I Waited for the Lord," by Mendelssohn, in the evening. In the latter anthem, the duet portion was sung by Mrs. W. Dunn and Mrs. E. F. Farrow. CHILPREN WARNED AGAINST SLFIGHING Arthur Miller, five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M, Miller of 64 McKinnon Industries 'May be Taken Over by General Motors Tonight TH.
